Just a Couple Tent Shots

So that Chem Casey cross.... What do you think ? I haven't ran a Schwaggy strain as of yet,
This is my first. I won it in the 2nd Anniversary contest.
I honestly know nothing about Schwaggy's work other than he is very respected by people I respect.
The plant seems like a kick-ass, old school indica, the second, un-pictured pheno especially.

I don't know breeders or strains, I spend zero time reading about the latest fire, I'm not on IG or any other site.

I got a taste for IBLs and stability early and have slowly built a collection to work through. I've been fortunate enough to win or be gifted some more modern work that I have enjoyed growing and consuming, but my passion is to quietly work away with my "grandpa weed". ;)

I try picking his brain every chance I get. Brilliant dude.

Same. That's why people sometimes laugh when I'm like "Wait who's that ?" Because it'll be some well known breeder, and I know nothing about them. I read about Cheese, Chemdog, and Afghani a lot.

Hey, Grandpa Weed can be better than you'd expect if you took it to a dispensary LOL. The only new strains I end up caring about come from here.

So as not to clog @Bodean's thread, and so you don't have to search so much if you were interested in C99, here's a few photos. These were taken day 49 of flower.

Wow bro; I didn't think Winter had started even up there yet.

So that Chem Casey cross.... What do you think ? I haven't ran a Schwaggy strain as of yet, but mostly because of space as I did get gifted one of his Blue Cheese X Green Crack packs that I'm very much excited to run. Love that dude and his skill set.

I’d strongly recommend making a point to run some of Schwaggy’s gear. Especially if you never have. There aren’t many breeders that put in the work as deeply as he does into his projects. He’s hands down one of the most knowledgeable and gifted breeders I’ve ever met. I could be off base here, but it seems to me like a lot of people collect his gear, but not nearly enough people actually run it to know for themselves. It just goes to show how oversaturated the entire market is when someone of his caliber of breeding can fly under the radar for as long as he has. IMO, Schwaggy should be a household name worldwide. He’s just on a completely different level than most people in this industry. I guess when there’s probably 10’s of thousands of people or more worldwide making seeds, and what seems like each of them drop 10-20 “new strains” per month, it’s easy to get lost in the shuffle unless you get that mainstream notoriety for winning a major cup and then end up in some major publications.

I intend to run that asap :) I've only got one pack, and didn't have space for anymore plants for this run, so I had to put it on the backlog for now.

Lol I'm honestly not used to having any Cheese I have to wait to run, but I do thank God. I have his Blue Cheese X Green Crack that will be getting ran, along with like....8 other Cheese that I just couldn't pop this season. Believe me in itching to pop all of those, but I've got to keep my numbers within reason, so I had to wait for now.

Wife got a bunch of strains sent to her, to see what helps with her stomach problems, and she picked out a few that are in the garden right now, and we still have more that we didn't have room for yet. And then another package came in the mail from a buddy in here who literally only wants to help, with an HAOG cross, so that's on the list of next run too.

I have to say; I've not ever been part of a forum like this in my life.... people that I get along with so well, and so many who want to help in any way they can. That is incredible.

Schwaggy and his skills are in no way lost on me; I try not to bug him too much, but I have so many questions lol. I honestly don't know of anyone here that isn't coming out with straight up fire!
 
Sorry about the crappy photo quality, but ya gets what ya gets. ;)

Here's 979(Chem Casey #9 x ‘79 Xmas Tree Bud)

Pretty significant structural variation between the two phenotypes but the smell is still very similar. Harold is hanging out on his perch.

Pheno 1 is on 49 f

The shorter, bushier one was flipped about 10 days later.

Snipped a bud from the 979 and the scope showed plenty of amber on 51f so I chopped. That's a couple days earlier than expected. The heavy fuel has mellowed into something a little sweeter. Really looking forward to trying this one. (realized that I always say that and that it's always true:) )
 
All I can say is the 979 lives up to @Schwaggy P 's reputation. The plant is still hanging in the cure cab, but I clipped another bud this morning and it is face-melting stuff. I haven't done a proper, stand-alone, wake-n-bake yet, but even after already being well-medicated on other good stuff, it just smacks me upside the head.

The smell and taste is very similar to the Romulan I was growing for a while.

(I don't do in-depth analysis of taste/smell. I have neither the palate nor the inclination.)

If you happen to have any of Schwaggy’s “Skunky D,” I’d recommend getting them wet when you have the space and time if you’re ever wondering what to run next. They’re definitely worth it.

Thank you, for looking in and for the info. :)
The only other Schwaggy flavour I possess is Sunshine Daydream x Jabba’s Stash(plus I still have the rest of the 979).
 
I'll take pics when I chop in a few days, but the swelling of the flowers on the Cindy pictured above is pretty significant. She's fattening up very nicely.
Just had to stake another C99 as well, as it was getting top-heavy. :)

One of the Skunkberry Squared grabs me by the nose and gives me a big kiss of sweet berry every time I enter the room.
I love it when my chucks are successful. I always get more excited about growing seeds I made over any I obtain through other ways.
 
Blueberry Muffin, chop day 54f
None of the full plant shots turned out, but here's a few flowers.
I've missed having this in the jars.
Not the best pics, but you can feel free to buy me a good camera if it bothers you. ;)

Oh, and I chopped the second 979 yesterday, the short stubby one. I wish I'd been better about defoliating as the yield could have been better, but it's the smell that got my attention. o_O
It has the leaded/diesel fuel undertones of the other pheno but a combination of skunk and propane have taken over. It was on the deck awaiting chop and I was honestly getting concerned about a gas leak before figuring out what was up.

The smells become way clearer and stronger in the cool fall air. I just carried both the c99 and the BBM outside for their pre-chop wash and each gave me a nose full of their unique aromas, sweet tropical fruit for Cindy and fresh baked blueberry muffins. :love:

Why have I never thought to say this ?!?!?! Hahahaha!

Bro! I've been joking about our local company sending out techs to try and find a leak because of my garden, but.... Would you believe I've never smelled Diesel fuel in my life ?.... Skunk and Propane on top!!!!!!! I'm honestly not sure how you feel about that combo, cause you seem to aim for sweeter stuff, but I know I'd be happy about that.
